Blogging the night shift?

It looks like this is going to be a week for PM blogging, since most of the news will be made on the DNC podium in prime time, and early reports from around the blogosphere and elsewhere seem heavily focused on which party was where.

Still, a couple interesting tidbits from the future first family deserve notice. John Kerry's first pitch at Fenway may not have seemed to display major league stuff, but the curve ball he threw to get there was a solid strike. 'Politician goes to ball game' might not seem to be a big story, but it captured the news cycle for a couple reasons, not the least of which was the level of campaign discipline it took to keep the story under wraps until the press corps was on the plane. Altogether an all-star performance.

Re: the Theresa "shove it" flap, a couple notes. First, when Mrs. Kerry says something 'outrageous,' at least it can be quoted verbatim on the air and in family friendly blog space, unlike the output of, say, certain Vice Presidents. Other than that, I can only agree with the former first lady, Senator Clinton's advice to Theresa.

You go, girl.
